Securing DW To Granite Tops

Zatol · 04-05-2006, 04:08 AM

How have you guys attached the top tabs of the DW to the underside of granite tops to prevent the DW from tipping?

I take it the granite guys did not drill the holes for you, can you jack up the legs enough to keep it from tipping until they get back?

The granite installers do this for us, but you can do it yourself, you just drill the holes, insert those plastic wall anchors and screw into them.

On my silestone counters the installers epoxied a couple nuts to the counter. Worked fine.
